Your Trusted
Community Builder

At National Zakat Foundation, we believe Zakat isn’t just a transaction — it’s how we build and strengthen our community, and take care of our most vulnerable – children, seniors, single-mothers, refugees, and so many more.

Every contribution is managed with care, in line with the Quran and Sunnah, to ensure your Zakat & Sadaqah reaches those who need it most right here at home.

From collection to distribution, we handle every step with integrity and accountability you can trust.
